Chapter 5. The Third Year Begins.
Harry woke the next morning and stood and stretched. He sighed and looked at his sleeping slave and smiled. Caldin opened his eyes and blinked hard and smiled at his master and stood. Harry led the way down the hall once they were both dressed. Harry had shrunk his trunk and had it in his pocket at his side. He sat down in the main hall to await Hermione.
Hermione sighed and woke and got out of bed and dressed and grabbed her trunk and cast a feather weight spell on it and pulled it along with her. She walked down the stairs and saw Harry and walked over to him. Harry stood and held out his hands. Caldin stood and grabbed a hand and held on. Hermione grabbed his other hand confused. Xavier smiled and vanished them straight to King's Cross. He then led them to Platform 9 3/4. He made his way onto the train with Caldin and he led his slave inside a first empty compartment and he sat down on one said. Caldin whined and lay down on the opposite side and went to sleep. Hermione having followed them walked inside and put her trunk up and settled down beside Xavier and waited for the train to start moving. She pulled out a book and started to read. Harry smiled at Her and also pulled out a book and started to read.
" Hermione I need to tell you something." Harry said in a nervous way.
" What Xavier?" Hermione asked.
" That's just it. My name is Harry Potter. Not Xavier Riddle. I am sorry that I lied to you." Harry admitted.
" That is not possible Harry Potter died many years ago. Or at least he went missing and was declared dead." Hermione stated in shock and denial.
"I am sorry to tell you this way Hermione. I just wanted you to know the truth. And I ran away many years ago. And Tom Riddle took me in as his son." Harry told her in shame at having lied to her.
He then sighed and became quiet and went back to reading. Hermione shook her thoughts away from the turn in events and she went back to reading her book deciding to trust him and his word.
Once they arrived at the school Harry sighed and stood and walked inside and took Caldin down to the Slytherin common room and left him in the dorms. He then walked alone up to the headmaster's office and walked inside.
" What can I do for you Mr. Riddle?" Snape questioned annoyed.
" I need to change my name back to what I was born as." Harry stated.
" And what name would that be?" Snape asked still annoyed.
" My name is Harry James Potter. I am sorry that I lied to you Headmaster." Harry admitted.
" I see. Young Mr. Potter. I knew. I was a death eater after all. Now that things have changed you are going back. But no matter what name you choose you are always the same person inside." Snape reassured him.
Harry nodded and turned and left the office. And headed back down the stairs and into the slytherin common room and walked back to Caldin and lay down beside his slave and started to cry.
Snape sighed and changed the papers over to Harry's real name and he changed the records as well. He then walked out of his office and headed down for the feast and sat in his chair and looked around him and told the other teachers that Xavier Salazar Riddle was really Harry James Potter. And to now call him Harry again.
The teachers nodded their assent and looked to each other in shock at this news. Snape then stood up.
" Everyone Listen up. Xavier Riddle has went back to his birth name of Harry Potter. Please address him as such. Thank you. " Snape said in his cold tone.
Draco sighed and walked down into the common room and went to the dorms and walked inside and saw Harry and Caldin.
" So Xavier, Ahem. I mean Harry. Why did you lie to everyone?" Draco questioned.
" I didn't me to Draco. I just wanted to have a family. I became Voldemort's son for a reason after all." Harry stated in a deadpan voice.
" Master? What is the Matter Master?" Caldin raised his head and questioned. He then saw draco and bowed his head and yawned.
Draco laughed and turned around and walked over to his bed and laid down.
" So. You thought that becoming someone else would help you out I see. I understand how you feel Harry. But I mean. Maybe there was another way Harry. Maybe you should have stayed with your family." Draco states.
Harry nodded and turned over and pulled Caldin close to him. He sighed and closed his eyes and went into a deep sleep. Draco rolled his eyes and then closed his eyes and went to sleep as well.
They woke together the next morning and sighed. Caldin woke and looked at Harry. Harry stood and walked into the showering area. Caldin whined and moved quickly after him and got behind Harry and hid. Draco laughed and walked to Harry's side and started to bathe himself once he stripped and cut the water on. Harry did the same and started to bathe. Caldin whined and helped and washed his master's back.
Once the three of them were clean harry shot drying spells at them and then dressed himself and walked out. Caldin whimpered and hurried to dress and ran out and almost ran into Harry who was waiting outside the door. Draco laughed and dressed and walked out in a much calmer manner. He continued on down the stairs walking toward the great hall. Harry sighed and followed Draco and led Caldin to their seats and he served himself some of the food and he ate feeding Caldin as he ate for himself.
Draco laughed at Harry as he watched him. He smiled when he relised that Harry Loved his slave. He wondered what it was like for them. To love and care about one another and for Caldin to be a slave to the one he loved. Draco smiled and raised a eyebrow.
" So Harry. You love your slave don't you?" Draco asked.
" Yes. Draco. I love my slave. I set him free over a year ago and he begged me to bring him back into being my slave. I do not know why only that he did. Why does it matter?" Harry said and asked in a cold voice.
" It doesn't matter. I am just glad that you are happy with him is all." Draco stated.
Harry sighed and finished his food and stood and walked out of the great hall. It was a Saturday and there were no classes. Harry walked down to the lake and sat down under a tree and looked out over the water.
Caldin whined and followed his master. He sat beside harry and watched the water as well.
" It is peaceful here Master." Caldin said happily.
" Yes. It is. This was my first home. Many years ago. I do not wish to see it destroyed again along with this world." Harry said.
" I know master. And in the dream were I heard my father's voice. It said that I have to find the link between this world and the world that has the gray mists. I must find it before Kendra does." Caldin said looking at his hands.
" I see. Caldin listen to me. I know not what it means. Only that I believe that Kendra is from that world of mists. I am not sure how he ventured into this world. But I think that if what you said is correct. That Kendra may open the boundary between the worlds and allow free passage to all things." Harry said in a unsure voice.
" I see. So Kendra will open the barrier and destroy all life on this planet by allowing the creatures like him to come here unhindered. I will not let that happen master. We must find a way to stop this." Caldin states in anger.
" I know. I do not understand it really. I also do not know how we are going to stop this. But maybe the dreams have a clue inside of them. Maybe we must find out what is in that world before we can save our world." Harry said.
Harry then leaned back against the tree and shut his eyes and listened to the world. He felt it alive and move. He sighed as he sensed the life that was the planets. Caldin whined and laid down and put his head in Harry's lap. Caldin shut his eyes and went into a light sleep. Harry also fell asleep.
Caldin and Harry looked at each other and nodded. And they started to walk through a forest dense in mists. Caldin turned and went left and headed to a waterfall. He looked around and jumped and landed on top of the water and started to walk along the path. Harry meanwhile looked and choose the right path and walked into a dead end. He turned around and paced back to the split and he went left this time and walked to the waterfall and he jumped and started along the water after Caldin. Caldin paused and waited till Harry caught up to him. Now together they walked along till they reached a crystal cave and went inside. They saw a figure at the far end inside the crystal. They walked toward it and then stopped and looked at the ground littered in fallen stalagmites. They looked at each other and backed away. Then they heard laughter behind them. They spun around and faced …
They woke at the same time. Caldin sat up with a yelp and shook and looked around him. Harry sighed and opened his eyes and looked around.
"It's alright Caldin. We never left here. I do not understand. We shared the dream." Harry said in confusion.
" I know master. I was afraid. I left you and went on alone. I do not understand what we were looking for. Maybe the body inside the crystal is the key." Caldin said confidently.
" Yes that may be so. But then who laughed at us. I woke before I saw a face. I do not understand this fully." Harry said in confusion still.
Draco meanwhile walked outside and over to them.
" Hey you two. It looks like it might rain come on inside. We can find something fun to do. Maybe wizard's chess." Draco suggested.
Harry nodded and stood and walked beside Draco and back inside the castle. Caldin whimpered and followed them. He felt that they would never finish this year here at the school though he knew not why or how he felt this way. He just did. And somehow he knew that he was right.
Once inside the Slytherin common room harry and draco sat down and started to play chess. Caldin shook his head and sat down on the couch and looked into the fire. He started as he saw something then it slipped away from him. He shook himself and looked around and stood then and walked to Harry and kneeled at his feet.
Harry and Draco finished the game and smiled to each other. Harry had won. Of course Draco knew that he would lose to someone that was raised by the dark lord after all. He sighed at his thoughts.
Harry stood and walked out of the common room and back up to the great hall as it was dinner time now. He sat down and watched as Caldin kneeled at his feet underneath the table. Harry then started to help himself to the food that was on the table feeding Caldin as he ate himself.
Draco sighed and walked into the great hall not long before dinner was to end and he sat down beside Harry and started to eat himself. He looked at his friend and wondered how life was like for him.
Harry sighed and finished off his food and looked at Draco. He smiled.
" So good game right?" Harry asked cheerfully.
"Yeah. Great game. You won fair and square. I knew that I couldn't win. But what were you and your slave talking about under the tree?" Draco asked.
" We were talking about our dreams. We did not understand them." Harry answered.
Harry then stood and walked out of the great hall and he walked outside into the pouring rain that had started hours before. He shook in the rain and walked back to the tree and looked at the sky and started to cry. He began remembering his father and the times that they had together.
Caldin whined and followed Harry and put a hand on his shoulder.
" Master? It is alright master. I will always be here for you master." Caldin says reassuringly.
" I know Caldin. I was just remembering my dad. Now lets go back inside and dry off." Harry said cheerful once more. Though it was forced.
Harry shook the water off once inside and cast a drying spell at himself and Caldin. Harry then took Caldin to the library and had him sat down under a table while harry went and browsed the shelves and looked at the books. He picked out a book on the history of the world and he shook his head and walked back to Caldin and sat down in the chair and he started to read.
He sighed and shook his head a few hours later and laughed at the ridiculousness of the book. He went and put it away and collected Caldin and left the library he ventured back to Slytherin common room and sat down on one of the couches. Caldin sighed and kneeled at his feet knowing his place.
Draco walked inside the common room and over to Harry and sat down beside him. Draco sighed and looked over.
" Rough time huh? I saw you go outside." Draco Stated.
" Yeah. I am trying to deal with the loss of both families. Now all I have left is my brother who is the vampire king. I know of no other way to live. I will try and figure out how things should be done and fix what is wrong in my life. I must push on no matter the odds against me." Harry stated.
" Yeah. I agree fully." Draco said in shock he then closed his mouth and looked at his best friend.
Harry stood and order Caldin to go back up to the dorms. Harry then stood and walked out of the common room and through the castle and went to Gryffindor portrait and he waited.
Inside the common room. Hermione got up and walked out the door and saw harry and smiled at her friend.
"So what brings you here?" Hermione inquired.
" I came to talk with you. I just want your help." Harry requested.
Hermione nodded and led harry down a sub hall and nodded. Harry smiled and placed a silencing charm over the area. Then he started to tell Hermione everything. He took her about the dreams and the feelings that he had. How he had come back through time and space. What he was. He told her all of it and his life.
Hermione blinked and slowly closed her mouth from how it had fallen open during the explanations. She nodded. And said.
" And how do you believe I can held Harry?"
" I believe you can. I do not know how. Only that Caldin and myself and my brother are key in the coming fight. I do not understand it myself. I only know what I can. I am trying to learn more. But I don't know if I will be able to. I am sorry." Harry said quickly.
" I see. I will do my best to find out what this other world is. It may have references inside the library. If it does I will find it harry. Don't worry. I promise I will aid you in any way that I am able to. I know and understand how frustrated you are. But know that I am here to aid you. As the descendant of Ravenclaw." Hermione stated.
Harry nodded and hugged her then dispelled the charm and stood and walked away and headed back to slytherin and went up to the dorms and saw Caldin sleeping and he smiled. He then walked into the showers and cut on the water after he stripped. He cleaned up and redressed and walked to Caldin and lay down beside him and pulled him into his arms. And he fell asleep that night.
A few months passed and Halloween was approaching. Harry laughed and looked around at the people that were headed down to Hogsmead to shop. For the season. He looked at Hermione and smiled.
" I found something yesterday harry." Hermione whispered.
Harry nodded and motioned for her to be quiet. He waited till they were in the village and he led Hermione to a alley and walked inside and placed a silencing barrier. Caldin whined and looked between them.
" What did you find out Hermione?" Harry asked worriedly.
" I found a reference in a book. To another world. The world is called Karlon. I know of little else expect that the world is covered in mists. It seems that the worlds border each other. I expect that you and Caldin went through the border in your dreams. I do not know why Kendra wants to open the border. I know next to nothing about the world. As it was never proven to Exist. All I know is the one who may know something about it is the vampire queen." Hermione said in a rush and then looked down sadly.
" You did great Hermione. That was better than I thought. I think I will go and talk to Heero's mother. I believe she is the one you are speaking of." Harry said calmly.
" No Master. The vampire queen was my mother. She died when I was five. Madam Hermione. Was the text that you found the reference in was it another language?" Caldin spoke up and asked.
" Yes it was. It took me until yesterday to uncover that much of it. There was more but I don't have a chance of understanding it." Hermione sighed sadly.
" I see. That means our informant is dead. I guess this means our best source of info would be my brother. Maybe he knows something. I will vanish to him and ask. Hermione take Caldin with you." Harry says coldly.
" No master. I need to go with you. I mean. I may know something. My past might be an answer." Caldin said in a subdued tone.
Harry nodded and grabbed Caldin and vanished them both from Hogsmead to the vampire city. He sighed as he saw he was in his brother's study. He looked around him. Then he heard Heero's voice.
" I see you have come. You have questions. I have answers." Heero said coldly.
" Why did you never tell me of this other world? What does the dreams mean? I don't understand Heero. Help me understand." Harry begged.
" I see. The answers you seek can only be found by going to that world. I have never been. But I have seen it often in my life. Many times after I won a battle a vision would come and I would see a crystal cave and walking through the cave I came out into the world of mists. I do not know where this cave is. All I know is that it links Earth with the world of mists Karlon. I am sorry. I fear that soon. We will be pulled from this world and tossed into Karlon alone. I am trying to wait until the times comes. We must find and sever the links between the worlds." Heero said coldly.
"I see. My mother knew something more of that world. Didn't she?" Caldin pleaded and watched his feet.
" Yes. She was from that world. It was her homeland. You are a child born of the world of mists and our world. I do not know what prophesies were made in that world. All I know is that it is far older than this world. I believe that Caldin is the link that combines the worlds. I think if we follow his memory we will find the cave and make it to Karlon before Kendra. I do not know how to find the right path though." Heero stated in annoyance.
Caldin whined and looked at harry.
" I see. So Caldin is the key to finding the link. I guess that maybe the dreams are giving us a glimpse but we need more than that. I feel that we can succeed we just need to wait. Trust me Heero. Wait until I find the path. Then we will leave to find the answers together." Harry pleaded.
Heero nodded his head and dismissed them. Harry sighed and grabbed Caldin and vanished back to Hogwarts. He saw that night had fallen and they walked along the corridors and into the Slytherin common room and up to the dorms. Caldin whimpered and walked to the bed and laid down and went into a dreamless sleep. Harry sighed and stood and walked from the bed into the shower and cleaned up then turned around after drying and got dressed and walked to his bed and lay beside Caldin and he went into a deep sleep.
